Graphical abstract of the publication

โ€œWhat surprised us most is how little it takes,โ€ says Omar Hahad, lead researcher of the study. โ€œEven a single night of what many people would consider โ€˜normalโ€™ road noise was enough to measurably stress the cardiovascular system.โ€ ๐Ÿซ€ ๐Ÿ”— superage.com/noise-is-an-...
